What is a coffee tasting?

A coffee tasting, also known as "cupping," is a standardized procedure to evaluate the aromas, flavor, acidity, body, and aftertaste profile of a coffee. This method is used by coffee roasters, quality controllers, and professional tasters to compare different types of coffee or to check the quality of a batch.

In a typical coffee tasting, different coffees are ground and placed in small bowls. Hot water is then poured over the coffee and after a short rest period, tasters break the "coffee crust" on the surface to release the aromas. The coffee is then slurped with a special cupping spoon to distribute it evenly across the palate and to detect its subtle flavor nuances.

Cupping helps to evaluate the specific characteristics of a coffee, such as sweetness, fruitiness, bitterness or floral notes. It is an essential step for coffee lovers and professionals to identify the best coffee and roast it optimally.
